Ingredients
Scale
- 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper to prepare the marinade.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or ziplock bag and pour the marinade over them. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Clean and lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking.
- Remove the salmon from the marinade and place it on the grill.
- Cook for about 4-5 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Transfer the grilled salmon to a serving platter, garnish with fresh parsley, and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
Notes
- For best results, thaw frozen salmon overnight in the refrigerator before marinating and grilling.
- Try substituting olive oil with avocado oil or grapeseed oil for healthier options and subtle flavors.
- Cook time may vary depending on the thickness of the fillets; adjust accordingly.
